      Montague Norman… A manic depressive, worked for Brown Shipley, a “division” of Brown Brothers (Dulles, Bush family, etc), Director (board member) The Bank of England in 1907,  Governor Bank of England 1920-1944, and so on.  So, about that nazi gold, wanna bet where it went?

      (this post is related to my previous @ #41464, in re Haushofer, Hess’ mentor, and Hitler’s)

      Excerpt>

      Cooperation with Nazi Germany (fostering the nazi machine for geopolitical agenda toward creating a proxy to destroy the USSR, you tell me… )
      Norman was a close friend of German Reichsbank Hjalmar Schacht and became godfather to one of his grandchildren. Both of them were members of the Anglo-German Fellowship, which existed in 1935-1939 and was accused of having links with the Nazis. In 1932, at the Cologne villa of Baron Kurt von Schroeder, Norman met with Adolf Hitler and von Papen, at which an agreement was reached on financing the NSDAP and lending to the German Reichsbank from the Bank of England. Bank of England records show that in March 1939 Norman helped the Nazis sell gold looted from occupied Czechoslovakia[6] Norman naively believed that by maintaining friendly relations with Hjalmar Schacht and his political leader, he would ensure a “peaceful sky” over Great Britain.

      Famous quotes>

      “When ordinary people lose their homes through legal procedure, they will become more obedient and controlled by the strong hands of the government, behind which is the central power of the wealth of leading financiers”   (sound familiar?)

      “These truths are known to our leaders, who are now engaged in building imperialism to rule the world. By dividing voters in the political party system, we can force them to spend their energy fighting over minor issues. ”  (sound even more familiar?)

      “I wonder if there is anyone in the world who can really guide the world or his country with the guaranteed result that his actions would have.”   (They’re still working on that.)

      I previously called attention and posted the url to Timofey Sergeitsev’s article in Ria Novosti. He argues that Russia will have to remove from the US the nuclear weapons. Yes, come and get them, take them apart or take them away. He outlined how that might occur. fwiw I have held the same opinion for years, and roughly expected a similar pathway to the end. Further, imho, many dangerous installations both military and civilian will need to be secured and made safe in the same general operation. Some may consider that such an operation implies a military invasion of the US. In some technical sense, I suppose it might be seen that way, but I expect that the Russians and the Chinese will be invited in and seen as a rescue force by the general population of what’s left.

      Now “Uncle” Karl Sanchez has written commentary related to this prescient and thoughtful essay. Do take the time to read Uncle Karl’s thoughts, and Sergeitsev’s essay.

      Very Serious Russian Point-of-View – by Karl Sanchez

        Thanks for this, Mr P. I’m late to this party but I did check out Karl’s piece. Here’s my comment over there:

        I see it as completely plausible and viable to de-nuke the old USA, and it is wonderful to have this concept be placed on the table of world thought. Let’s remember too that the same thing has to happen with the Israeli arsenal, and I assume that the Resistance has actually gamed this and made plans for how to achieve it. Israel will be the sample that shows the world the concept is real, and possible.

        It seems the way in which the nuclear arsenal would removed and/or sanitized would be by the invitation of the States and their alliances formed after the dissolving of the Union which is created by the Constitution. The states themselves will have that clean up to contend with, and inviting Russia and China in to get it done makes perfect sense.

        The scenario of dissolution is the most likely form of revolution to me in the USA, because of its unique nature. As Mercouris pointed out, the Union is actually created by its constitution, and in law is no longer an entity if the Constitution ceases to hold force. So, the USA doesn’t fall down, it falls apart, along its natural fault lines, which are the borders of its constituent sovereign states. John Michael Greer wrote about this in his fictional novel, which set the date as 2028.

        I suggest that everything I’ve written here consists of viable options. As to any of them actually occurring, the future is not here yet, and only time will tell.

          You’re welcome!

          The Constitution of 1789 was in effect, though I might quibble with the ratification, when of course Lincoln gave his first inaugural. In that speech Lincoln referred to the right of the people to revolution. I have often wondered by what convoluted process did he change his mind?

          It’s a moot question now, but moot questions, lose end, can be very interesting as clues to history that’s never spoken or written of.

          I wonder about the war of 1812, and recall that His Royalness and his ministers and the Bank of England don’t ever give up their occult schemes. Not, especially, if there’s loot in the prospectus. So to what extent was the US Civil War, or better, the Northern War of Aggression, merely an extension of 1812?

            Text, Lincoln’s first inaugural, in this document we find some features of wisdom which warn, in a way, of precisely the condition that has destroyed the Nation, minority rule, or, better, the construction of a “Free State”, which we may know as “the deep state”, that does not answer to the majority, or to even a significant minority, nor regard the people even as citizens, if we judge by the actions of it.

      In the matter of the murder of Texas Bentley…

      excerpt> Suspects involved in the criminal case were identified as Russian Armed Forces servicemen Vitaly Vansyatsky, Vladislav Agaltsev, Vladimir Bazhin, and Andrey Iordanov. The individuals have been accused of felonies under Russia’s Criminal Code, including the use of physical violence and torture, which resulted in the death of the victim through negligence, as well as the concealment of an especially grievous crime.
      On April 8, Russian military servicemen Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov used physical violence and torture against Russell Bentley in Donetsk that led to the correspondent’s death. On the same day, Vansyatsky and Agaltsev bkew up a VAZ 2115 car containing Bentley’s body with TNT explosives.
      On April 9, Bazhin, a serviceman of the same military unit, removed Bentley’s remains from the scene on the instructions of Vansyatsky in a bid to conceal the heinous crime.TEXAS BENTLEY

      At Chronicles this was written, about Lebanon and Gaza and the vast crime spree…

      “…What criminal scum. It is like a person watching and not only not stopping a rapist from raping, but then threatening the rapist’s kin from avenging them or even seeking police or court help. What an evil paradigm and civilization…”

      Well, in Kentucky a fella, the sheriff, stood for justice. Let’s hope he was correct. Don’t want any mistakes. I doubt he’ll be convicted, not anyway in a State Court.

      #BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: High-ranking government sources tell me the Sheriff who sh*t and k*lled a Kentucky judge today did so because the judge was r*ping the Sheriff’s underage daughter Local media reports the elected Sheriff of Letcher County, KY walked into the judge’s chamber this afternoon and sh*t the judge, exchanging words with him beforehand. The Sheriff is now in custody on 1st degree m*rder charges. Furthermore, now deceased Judge Kevin Mullins was CLOSE FRIENDS with Sheriff Stines IF the judge DID r*pe Sheriff Stine’s daughter—as multiple members of the community believe it to be—I’m calling for the charges to be DROPPED or the jury to REFUSE to indict or convict, making Sheriff Stines a free man again. Predictably, Kamala surrogate Governor Andy Beshear, who previously said he hoped a family member of JD Vance would get pregnant due to r*pe, has come out in support of the judge. Our country has no place for child r*pists. What do you think?

        “Our country has no place for child r*pists. What do you think?”

        Why do Americans always ask the wrong questions?

        Either a child rapist goes free or its legal to kill him, this is the premise.

        in America there is never a non violent choice. On either side of politics someone always has to die.

        Either way the country has totally regressed to a warlord state.

          I’m not sure about the assumption that the questioner in the quote , “Nick Sortor” is an American. Is there evidence for this?

          But the question, “what do you think” rather undoes the assumption of premise that K has stated. In fact it seems like a straw man fallacy to claim: “Either a child rapist goes free or its legal to kill him, this is the premise.” Who said “legal”? The cop’s in the slammer under arrest.

          For myself, I think that if two men agree to fight, then they can, and nobody can stop them. I wonder if the judge drew a gun first, many judges keep a pistol, by the way. I think an adult has no business fooling around with the under-age daughter of his friend. I wonder about “child” – the age is unstated. Was this “rape” violent or statutory? This is also unclear. In some of the Southern States the age of consent used to be quite low, 12 in Mississippi, if I remember correctly. I think that the sheriff got elected and people trusted him with the power of a sheriff, and trusted his judgement. Absent the bullet, I doubt that the accused judge would have not been in a “heap o’ trouble”, as they say. I think it’s hyperbolic to claim that ” in America there is never a non violent choice. On either side of politics someone always has to die” (how is this essentially private killing political?) – in fact over the cop radio (Anoxia is in the CONUS) I hear non-violent domestic and other kinds of calls, theft, assault, drunken driving…ordinary crime “calls” to the sheriff several times a day – and these are resolved non-violently most of the time. If there is “violence” it’s the violence of a pair of handcuffs and a ride to the jail. The cops do sometimes pull guns, but they almost never fire them. A few years ago a cop shot a man dead in self-defense. I hear it caused great trouble for him, divorce, depression, that direction of things.  I heard the gunfire over the radio as it happened. The cop was justified, and I would have done the same if I was not free to run away. The cop was attacked by a doped up big strong guy with a baseball bat, on a bridge. There were about a dozen eye witnesses. In fact, non-violent resolution seems to be the default method in America, and most places in the world. Palestine and 404 and other parts of the moribund nazi colonial enterprise being notable exceptions.

          About violent resolution, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broderick–Terry_duel  BTW the wiki is inaccurate. Broderick was put up to the duel for political purposes and assumed to be the better shot, Terry being afflicted by poor eye-sight. Terry was a knife-fighter, not a gunfighter. We ought to understand the meeting as an arranged political quasi legal murder that didn’t work as expected. The goal was to kill Terry for political partisan purposes.

          Nick, whoever he is, seems misinformed about place. America has always had plenty of rapists, and they had plenty of places. Sacagawea gave birth at, they say, 16., not that I’d count her intercourse (at a presumed 15) as rape, but maybe it was, ahdunno. She carried the baby clear across the continent, and back, she must have liked the kid a lot. How chaste she was en route, well, I wouldn’t bet.

          K may be onto something with “warlord state” though! George Washington was known, they say, for drunken tavern fights, and by, it’s a long story, and not just George, but pappy John too… see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_Destroyer  As to the prostitutes and girls George “knew” well, we don’t know their ages, nor that they were not kidnapped girls from the towns he burned.

      At Chronicles>  “…Was this guy sodomized by Jeffrey!? He used to be led around by another zionazi Roy Cohn in the 1980s too, a comely blonde lad on a leash, the way the US-era Afghan pederast mafia kingpins led their underage boys around in public. ”

      I don’t think Jeff rolled that way, but Roy was a flaming tailgunner chicken hawk, the idea that Roy opened the blond kid to the joys of buggery sounds pretty reasonable.  Film at 11? as they used to say…and Roy probably shared…a point score, so to say.

      A remark about censorship, er, “misinformation”, and terms from Catholic Canon Law.

      “Nihil Obstat” = nothing [in the information] hinders [publication] = truth, ie not misinformation.

      “Imprimi Potest” = may be printed = not misinformation = truth

      (Napolitano and Ray used these terms and I am in their debt, the naming of the basic terms of censorship is related to the rectification of names, which clarifies what’s being done. Actually though, the assault on free speech really got started with the prohibitions respecting “gender” like when some guy in a dress could object when he was called a fag… )

      Remarking that so-called pre-emptive attack (see https://www.thepostil.com/author/jacques-baud/ ) is in reality (re Cheney 1% “doctrine, same essay) …in reality a mechanism of high gain feedback, which creates uncontrolled amplification. In terms of violent kinetic sets we would called this a machine that produces “escalation”. This to recall phrases such as “march to war”, etc.

      I note that posted at Daily Chronicles is the sage advice of Professor Marandi, an experienced, and wounded, combat veteran about emotion. This is necessary in a period of uncontrolled escalation in order to rationally and effectively direct the amplification mechanism against the aggressor parties, while they themselves are liable to succumb to panic, irrationality, and ultimately, to fear. In other words, to defeat.

      He wrote> “Don’t get emotional. The Axis of Resistance knows exactly what it’s doing. The Israeli regime is desperate and struggles to take the initiative. Tel Aviv will be severely punished, but the Resistance will determine when and how the conflict escalates.”

      Napolitano dons his lawyer hat… (kindly refer to Lincoln’s first inaugural, url given above, in which he refers, inter-alia, to the Court, and the supremacy of Congress over the Court)

      excerpt >

      “It is always dangerous to human freedom and due process when politics interferes with criminal prosecutions. Yet, present-day America is replete with tawdry examples of this.

      The recent exposures of the political machinations of the chief justice of the United States in the presidential immunity case is just one sad example of the highest judge in the land determined to change the law, even at the cost of sacrificing good jurisprudence; and this from a jurist who once promised the Senate that he envisioned himself as a mere baseball umpire — just calling balls and strikes.

      Now, he is a historical revisionist, ruling that the Framers actually wanted an imperial presidency.”

      Sal the Sailor Man delivers a fascinating interim “report” on the containership DALI. What’s interesting is the general claim about ship maintenance and conditions in the industry overall – rather dangerously low quality. Phuckin micky mouse, iyam!

      It’s been decades since I heard stories from mariners – but I know of three that align with the DALI fubar… in one a burned out 28 volt indicator lamp was changed for a new bulb, the new bulb was shorted, defective. That lowered the control voltage in the engine control console, which moved the fuel feed to “idle” in a Chevron gas turbine powered tanker. In another, every time the engine room telephone rang the engine stopped – a cracked terminal strip in the console vibrated “open” from the ringing bell. In another, an El Paso LNG tanker went on the rocks near Algeciras due to the concealment by the engineers of a boiler water level controller that often failed, and which they used to “fix” by whacking it with heavy pliers – concealed from the Coast Guard inspectors, several times! The ship was loaded with LNG. The rocks came within about 2 inches of rupturing the LNG tanks.

      Anyway, DALI is is a dangerous condition, at sea with the ripped open bow, headed on a long rough voyage to repair yard in China. It’s possible that she’ll take on, in rough seas as the Winter storms arrive, enough water to break up and sink. What? Me worry?

      Assassinations: The Globalists’ New Strategy

      New? Naw! time tested and proved to work. However it’s also been shown to push the evolution rate towards even more obdurate “enemies” – thus every murder makes for a tougher opponent, and one more inclined to whack the whacker, as in git them afore they git you. It’s an open game, two can play. Thus ultimately liable to produce defeat. From this we see that political murder is a sign of lack of viable alternatives, of desperation, of failure.

        Flooded internal space, if the picture is representative, indicates hull breach, “aground” generally just means a dent in the hull. Which in itself is bad, as it means all sorts of alignment become un-aligned, but fouling with salt water and modern machinery and electronics mean a long time in dry-dock.

        In all of this, the U.S. is in the midst of a social crisis that mirrors the unprecedented political one. The demise of the West, as Oswald Spengler put it, is louder than people think. Nobody cares about Americans any more, because there are basically no politicians who have America at heart any more, while they rather have their own interests at heart.  (that’s Engels’ “Free State”) This process of separation of governance-representation-people is one of the most delicate points of a transition phase that will lead the whole of humanity to have to rethink the political processes through which societies organise themselves. The problem is that the U.S. is still an imperialist political system with tentacles all over the world, and the dollar has been the main currency dominating the planet for almost a century, so the consequences of this debacle will be equally unprecedented. The final metastasis of a sick society cannot be avoided.

        US Navy refueling ship USNS Big Horn sustains damage in Middle Eastern waters

        The USNS Big Horn, a refueling vessel for the strike group led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, has reportedly sustained damage while operating in Middle Eastern waters. Sources have indicated that details surrounding the incident remain undisclosed. (Do I smell a Houthi?)

        Fortunately, the crew onboard was unharmed, and there were no signs of fuel leakage from the vessel. One source mentioned that tugboats are currently assisting in keeping the Big Horn afloat.

        Earlier, the navigation portal gCaptain reported that the ship had run aground off the coast of Oman.

          Sal the Sailorman says after steering space flooded, and has been “de-watered”.

          You may be right about a whiff of Houti

          The ship has variable pitch props. Since the rudder (one of two) is said to be damaged, we may suspect a dry dock is in her future, and maybe prop swap.  40,000 tons.

          The ship has, they say, no armament, ie is a duck in a pond with no capacity to repel a missile or even a souped-up model airplane (with bangstoff feature)

        I read it. The link to Torres ( https://expansion.mx/opinion/2024/04/22/entrelineas-eu-a-mexico-estas-contra-china-o-contra-mi ) as well.

        The drug aspect and the implication that “lawfare” against Mexican officials, or individuals, is at least an avenue that the US is contemplating, seems pregnant. The dope racket has been a significant off-books “licensed” and/or expedited part of the so-called intelligence agencies in the US, and helps with vast amounts of cash to support US banks and operations, ( The Big White Lie, https://archive.org/details/thepoliticsofheroininsoutheastasia_202003 , Air America, etc ) It’s an open public “secret”… and of course there was the excuse to invade Panama when Manuel Noreiga, they say, tried to blackmail Bushie # 41 over the dope. The illegal rackets make for an easy narrative to sell to the public. They also make for “leverage” over individuals, organizations, and countries.

        I think we’re seeing a manifestation of contradictions within the US State institutions in conflict with factions of the “Free State”, and these in conflict with one another.

        All the pathways I can imagine have disagreeable directions.

        see, having to do with the Mexican War, https://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/guadhida.asp

        Treaties under the USC are Federal Law. Binding law. By what occult mechanism the President has the ostensible power to decide that a treaty isn’t law, by unilateral whim, is a mystery to me. It would appear to constitute an impeachable offense, a crime. It follows that kidnapping is seen as quite normal, like torture, these days. They did it in Panama… Quite a “persuasive” way of doin’ “business”. Capone would be jealous.

      Bearing in mind the fellas like Montague Norman and Bank of England, and the Brown Bothers and their British subsidiary and Standard Oil, etc financed the process that collapsed the Western economy in ’29, and bankrolled the European nazis for the goal of disassembling the USSR and looting Russia, just as the present day nazis in control of US policy curated and finance and supply the Ukrainian nazis, and the zionist nazis – I would differ with Professor Dugin insofar as “WW3”. To the contrary, this is still world war 2. I am glad, however, to read the Professor’s opinion, his frank calling them nazis is refreshing. M, who studied the Soviets, and read Marx very secretly in the 40’s, and who was very quiet about what she knew, always told me, softly, almost whispering, told me in 1964, that the US was run by nazis, not German nazis, American nazis. Nice to see her opinion so vindicated! 1964, not long after the nazis murdered Kennedy and did their coup. A secret Marxist and an experienced legal professional, and a judge, she knew a political murder when she saw one. The cover-up, and who ran the “investigation”, was probably what motivated M to speak about it, as a caution to me to stay out of their way. Now, it’s so obvious that everybody can see it.

      I watched Sal’s stuff on war zero and war 2, some is factual, but the overall reasons, the occult finances, the civilizational drang and elite ambitions – these causative factors are painfully omitted. I judge his college syllabus in the matter, and his grasp, as nearly worthless.  Possibly worse than useless, as it blinds the student with a foundationally deceptive and false understanding of what the world war is about.

        History: Adolph Hitler was Financed by Wall Street, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of England

        fragment>

        “From World War I to the Present: Dollar denominated debt has been the driving force behind all US led wars.
        Wall Street creditors are the main actors.

        They were firmly behind Nazi Germany. They financed Operation Barbarossa and the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941.

        “On January 4th, 1932, a meeting was held between British financier Montagu Norman (Governor of the Bank of England), Adolf Hitler and Franz Von Papen (who became Chancellor a few months later in May 1932) At this meeting, an agreement on the financing of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP or Nazi Party) was reached.

        This meeting was also attended by US policy-makers and the Dulles brothers, something which their biographers do not like to mention.

        A year later, on January 14th, 1933, another meeting was held between Adolph Hitler, Germany’s Financier Baron Kurt von Schroeder, Chancellor Franz von Papen and Hitler’s Economic Advisor Wilhelm Keppler took place, where Hitler’s program was fully approved.” (Y. Rubtsov, text below)

        Upon the accession of Adolph Hitler as Chancellor in March 1933, a massive privatization program was initiated which bears the finger-prints of Wall Street.

        Dr. Hjalmar Schacht –re-appointed in March 1933 by Adolph Hitler to the position of President of The Reichsbank— was invited to the White House (May 1933) by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

        “After his meeting with the U.S. President and the big bankers on Wall Street, America allocated Germany new loans totalling $1 billion” [equivalent to $23.7 billion in 2023, PPP estimate] (Y. Rubtsov, op cit)”

      thank you for this, dear Mr. P.    you may remember  that some months back i considered migrating to venezuela.    during the due diligence,  i was warned more than once that foreigners, particularly vulnerable non fluent legally blind seniors, were often targeted by gangs, specifically to kidnap & ransom the foreigner’s loved ones & relatives languishing back in empire.    these gangs i was informed are not our usual north american run of the mill disgruntled bruiser but are cia or blackwater trained terrorists.     could it be that an errant gang or 2 of these cia/blackwater terrorists have made their way from caracas to chicago for the love of snow & the auspicious opportunity to terrorize poor american gangs…is it possible they’ve reclaimed such patriotism as to act as insurgents?   to seed chaos in the cold heart of their instructors, as they had been trained to inflict upon their own beloved country?

        Well, all I have is a general opinion about gangs, and the dope racket. Patriotism does not, in my opinion, factor…these guys are a brotherhood of violent desperadoes, criminals. My opinion is that gangs, criminal syndicates, are “licensed” by the nazi deep state “intelligence services” and to some extent by State and city police.  Some independent individuals are also “owned”… they’re free to do as they please most of the time, but chivvied and helped to get out, or keep out, of prison, sometimes, when they can be of service. I know that some of these men in the US are ex military intelligence enlisted fellas, they’re sometimes used as murderers, spies, informers, and often protected by cops, we recall that even local cop shops cycle some selected officers through FBI training and also through Israeli training. I assume that’s the case in gangs and cops in Chicago, LA, New York, etc. This extends also to major motorcycle gangs, sometimes to the “feeder” gangs…which, quite frankly, I am afraid to name. We might say that the cops sometimes fit the description of a gang, though there are many decent cops, they have been infiltrated and the good guys know they can’t turn their backs…they even teach that in cop school, I know that.  We thought about leaving 10 years ago…but were already too old to change countries…it being my conviction that I would necessarily have to join the army and fight to become a proper loyal citizen and not merely a tolerated pest… The alternative is to cling to the wreckage, which we do. That, by the way, was advice John Mortimer (Rumpole author) gave in one of his autobiographical books, and with which I agree. Besides, in the USA we have a front row seat  at the freak show! Since we live in a rural village, some 600 people, and a rural County with a pretty good Sheriff, if there’s a real break-down and gang violence, well… the obvious will happen. Road blocks and Sheriff’s Posse, then whatever happens. The Sheriff has an armored car…snipers, all the cool stuff. I shall take my chances with the people I know as neighbors…we chose Anoxia with some, er, thought about what we expected might happen, and are sad that it is happening…I wish there was a door to 1949. Good luck and blessings kiddo!

      With the exception of the classical Chinese junk sail ship, ships sink. It’s a “feature”…the ones that just barely float are easier to sink, especially when the hatches are open. FUBARS and SNAFU’s happen.

      Mentioning Preparata. Two of interest. Conjuring H is one, which previously I have mentioned. Here something from Amazon on Conjuring.

      “Nazism is usually depicted as the outcome of political blunders and unique economic factors: we are told that it could not be prevented, and that it will never be repeated. In this explosive book, Guido Giacomo Preparata shows that the truth is very different: using meticulous economic analysis, he demonstrates that Hitler’s extraordinary rise to power was in fact facilitated — and eventually financed — by the British and American political classes during the decade following World War I. Through a close analysis of events in the Third Reich, Preparata unveils a startling history of Anglo-American geopolitical interests in the early twentieth century. He explains that Britain, still clinging to its empire, was terrified of an alliance forming between Germany and Russia. He shows how the UK, through the Bank of England, came to exercise control over Weimar Germany and how Anglo-American financial support for Hitler enabled the Nazis to seize power. This controversial study shows that Nazism was not regarded as an aberration: for the British and American establishment of the time, it was regarded as a convenient way of destabilising Europe and driving Germany into conflict with Stalinist Russia, thus preventing the formation of any rival continental power block. Guido Giacomo Preparata lays bare the economic forces at play in the Third Reich, and identifies the key players in the British and American establishment who aided Hitler’s meteoric rise.”

      You will note the English ruling class aspect, ahemmm. and possibly connect that to the strange passion for the nazis in zone 404?

      The Ideology of Tyranny: Bataille, Foucault, and the Postmodern Corruption of Political Dissent

      some cat wrote> In this profound analysis of the postmodern movement G.G. Preparata unveils the hidden reasons why this (in the words of the great French economist Jean Fourastié) conceptual delirium had such a success in the US. It fragmented dissent, enhanced corporate power and prevented the formation of a united political force between the middle and the working class against the ruling elite.
      Its main `theorizer’, Michel Foucault, had a liberal aura, because he sided with the madmen and the poor who suffered abuse in asylums, hospitals and prisons.

      Preparata, by the way, provides an explanation for all this queer stuff.

      another cat wrote>

      This book is a must read for anyone who is an advocate of social justice. Anyone claiming whole sale to multiculturalism but is unsatisfied with the results of policies that address issues of equality and poverty should read this book.
      Guido Preparata, uncovers the motives behind postmodernism and the vogue politics of diversity that have been endorsed by institutions and organizations in the West. Motives that he says have not empowered political activism towards politics of compassion but have instead provided a platform of competition for individuals and minority groups for academic paradigms of truth. With academic firebrand the author explores the uncharted territory of postmodern metaphysics. A study that starts with the Great Goddess and Dionysus and in the end has both the contemporary Postmodern Right and Postmodern Left believing in the aboriginal Void. In this book the author asks why is dissent paralyzed, and calls for the reader to commit to unity rather then diversity.

      Just a speculation based on a vague few stories, and the way political murders are shaped – there must be a fall-guy, and the best fall-guy is one you’d like to do away with anyway, so the murder must serve to deflect the public toward the patsy and away from the crime. It’s appalling, but that’s how they go. The nazis want to do away with Iran. And they also want to do away with the Orange fella. So?

      The story being spun seems to be that Iran would like to murder the Orange man.

      And that Iran makes heat-seeing shoulder-fired rockets that can, at a modest distance, ostensibly, destroy  a big slow fat airplane when it’s either landing or taking off.

      And that some number of these rockets have been “smuggled” in to the US, some say 6 of them.

      If that’s true, the agency was the dope cartels, as they and the nazis that sponsor or “license” them and they together control such traffic. The manufacturer of a gun has nothing to do with the fella that uses it, but it’s easy to cast blame.

      The nazis have already tried twice. Maybe more than twice.

      Withal, the hunch is that Orange-man’s aircraft will get shot at, maybe hit and maybe burn, and that the “evidence” will “suggest” that “Iran did it”, and by this process the “consent of the people” will be drummed to “support” a bigbig nazi bombing of Iran in “reprisal”.

      We recall that that Earl Warren was induced to “chair” the investigation of the Kennedy hit by means of the lie LBJ told him that “Cuba did it” and “we must prevent a nuclear war over this murder”, thus Warren let Dulles rig the “investigation”… Anyway, a similar confidence game would presumably work to “move the agenda deeper into the world war”.

      Yeah, it’s crazy. So are the nazis. If they try it let’s hope they blunder into an honest country sheriff or local cop, and their plan goes fubar.

      DONETSK, September 29-RIA Novosti. In Zaporozhye, the building of the Security Service of Ukraine, where officers from NATO countries were located, was hit, the coordinator of the Nikolaev pro-Russian resistance Sergey Lebedev told RIA Novosti.
      «
      “It is known that one of the strikes was carried out on the SBU building, where at that time there were officers of NATO countries. The block is closed around the building, and the rubble is being sorted out. According to reports from doctors — at least 15 dead at the moment from foreigners, ” he said.

      Nazi intend to poison the water. (Sore losers!, more charges for the trials to come)

      GENICHESK, September 29-RIA Novosti. The Kiev regime is preparing to use chemical and bacteriological weapons to infect water bodies in the Kherson region, Governor Vladimir Saldo told RIA Novosti with reference to Ukrainian servicemen.
      «
      “They are preparing, unfortunately, because the prisoners are talking about it. Unfortunately, we are preparing options for the use of chemical weapons and, possibly, contamination of water bodies — these are already bacteriological weapons. All this is not postponed by the enemy in the back drawer. It is there, and it is being prepared, ” he said.

      Highly stimulating mistakes with reactive chemicals, water-reactive, and evidently stored under water sprinklers. Let’s hear a big cheer for reading the MSDS and proper storage procedures!

      Georgia is a so-called “right to work” state, that prt’near means no union, and little safety training or protocol.

      That said, an arson investigator I used to know told me that about half the fires were arson. He did not categorize the arsonists by differentiating ‘tween the owners (insurance, you know) and the “free-lance” fellers.

      See what happens Larry!

        I agree. It is sad what is happening in US, my former home. I’ve not visited in a decade, but it is a dilapidated freakshow.

        Bridges and major highways crucial to connectivity just collapse due to lack of meaningful upkeep and due maintenance. And so on for chemical, oil, fertilizer plants and warehouses. It’s all following apart!

        And mostly due to willful negligence as the criminal elites huff and puff and put all their fast evaporating means and strength abroad to try to preserve the already lost hegemony. All blessings have been removed from their domains.. a divine mockery of the puny human nature and existence, and lesson on the reliance on supernatural good will..

        As with the Axis of Resistance beset by similar calamity and misled elites, the survivors shall learn to rebuild from the ashes along local self-sufficiency principles, never again trusting to the far away imperial center or their carpetbagger functionaries

      Negotiations are no longer needed: Russia has decided to” reset ” Ukraine in parts

      Geewhiz! Mr Bear lays down the law.

      404 kaputski nazi not permitted no more

      Pretty soon no juice for nazi gang in 404. 

      According to Russian and foreign experts, regardless of what figures Zelensky and the company juggle, by this point the cumulative effect of the Russian army’s systematic strikes on energy generation and distribution facilities in Ukraine is already critical, and the main result from a military point of view is the accelerating fragmentation of the country’s previously unified energy system. Now, in fact, Ukraine has begun to break up (so far) into two” energy islands”: the west-central one, which relies on the Rivne and Khmelnitsky nuclear power plants and is fed from neighboring EU countries, and the conditionally eastern one (Odessa, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhia, Dnepropetrovsk, Kiev, Sumy and Kharkiv regions), which has only the South-Ukrainian one in its assets Nuclear power plants and remnants of hydroelectric and thermal power plants.

      For obvious reasons, the Russian Armed Forces do not strike at the nuclear power plants themselves, but this is not necessary to reset them: it is enough to destroy or seriously damage the corresponding open switchgears (OPCs), without which it will simply be physically impossible to transfer the energy generated at the NPP further down the chain. As a result, entire regions may fall into a complete blackout, because due to the “islandization”, it will no longer be possible to redirect electricity from other regions. According to the director of the Center for Energy Research of Ukraine Alexander Kharchenko, if they knock out at least one ORU in the cold or two, even in the current weather, “we are definitely in a blackout. No options. Most of the country may then be de-energized.”

      Raisi’s helicopter // michael maloof Opined just now on RT that in view of the pagers and radios, and the odd facts, he now thinks the chopper was sabotaged technically. That’s more or less that a radiophone or laptop went bang, maybe the electronics of the chopper. Occams razor? A phone or laptop.

      he union also accused the ocean carriers of “gouging their customers,” pointing to a dramatic increase in container shipping costs. “They are now charging $30,000 for a full container, a whopping increase from $6,000 per container just a few weeks ago,” the ILA said.

      Supply chain professionals say this will cause shortages in everything from ripe bananas to critical medicine and manufacturing parts and J.P. Morgan estimates that a strike could cost the U.S. economy $5 billion a day.

      A little news. I had some site maintenance planned this morning and got up early to get the daily work done and have space for maintenance.

      We had a little infiltration of our own. A nasty group who tried to infiltrate through becoming members here. Been watching them for days and the tactics were almost absurd. So, first there was one. I approved. Then there was another one. I approved. Then there was two. I approved. Then came a small bunch in one day, and I ignored. Then came another bunch having given themselves high and mighty-sounding titles to get by the ignored business.

      When the missiles flew this morning, I did some operational strikes of my own, and removed/banned them all and reported them to every spamhaus everywhere. Shootin’ sure felt good! Site maintenance? Yes, I will get there.
